Standard C ++ 11 Documentation Costs

Question

Why are there different versions of the PDF standard ISO / IEC 14882: 2011 (C ++ 11), the cost of which ranges from $ 30 to $ 761? (see http://webstore.ansi.org or any other distributor)

btw: Has INCITS $ 30 been published? It is available at the ANSI web store, but not at the INCITS online store.

Answer 1

This is how standards organizations work. They do not compete with each other to get your business.

In any case, you can get the C ++ 11 standard for free. See N3337 here . This is the standard plus the first few corrections after standardizing typos, etc.
